...Jones, for the technicalities of the art, and the other, English 6, under different instructors, for actual practice. These are all electives which supplement the regular theme and forensic work done by the different classes. If thoughtfully and judiciously chosen, they can prepare a man most thoroughly for the real work of life...
...pleased with the changes which have been made within the last year or two in the department of Physics. This study which once was looked upon by the average student as simply a maze of calculus and logarithms, has been brought to a position where its real worth as part of a complete education is beginning to be appreciated. Abstruse mathematics are no more necessary to a thorough grounding in physics than they are to a knowledge of history. That this is indeed true can be seen from the work in what is comparatively a new departure in our Physics...

The series of games played last spring between scrub nines was extremely interesting and not without real value. A similar series should be arranged for the present season. At this time of the year the bat and the ball should have no rest, and the time that is not occupied by the 'varsity games, and class contests, which we suppose will be soon announced, should be fully occupied by the "non-professionals," to whom we would say with Horace, "Carpe diem...
